But outdoor and drive-in services are OK:
JUST IN: Less than two hours after President Trump declared all houses of worship essential, Gov. Pritzker said houses of worship in Illinois can hold outdoor and drive-in services when Phase 3 of the reopening begins a week from today.

Church services aren’t essential, but the governor is defending the construction workers who drive from Illinois to Wisconsin each day to build his new house at his horse farm. Those union guys? They’re essential:
FOX 32's @dsplacko wandered over the Wisconsin border and found more than 20 construction workers — nearly all from Illinois — helping build a massive new home and several outbuildings on Gov. Pritzker's horse farm. https://t.co/XAMZer8U84
